Summer travel tipsVacationing and traveling with children can be a family time full of fun and adventure. Often confined to smaller spaces (cars, planes, trains) and to move in very public venues (airports, depots, restaurants, hotels, etc.), travel for adults and children can also become a frustrating and energy-consuming venture. Children can quickly become bored, restless, and agitated due their need for physical movement to release pent up energy. With just a little preplanning, it is possible to keep your children happy and allow for their need to move. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) recommends that infants, children and youth get a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity every day. About NASPE: The preeminent national authority on physical education and a recognized leader in sport and physical activity, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) is a non-profit professional membership association that sets the standard for practice in physical education and sport. NASPE's 16,000 members include: K-12 physical education teachers, coaches, athletic directors, athletic trainers, sport management professionals, researchers, and college/university faculty who prepare physical activity professionals. NASPE seeks to enhance knowledge, improve professional practice, and increase support for high quality physical education, sport and physical activity programs through research, development of standards, and dissemination of information. It is the largest of the five national associations that make the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (AAHPERD). For more information, visit www.naspeinfo.org .
